Mastodon originally formed in 1999, and originally had a female singer. This changed by 2000, but they just got word that she unfortunately passed away.

They have decided to do a fund raiser to help give her a proper memorial, and help the family out in this difficult time. As it stands right now, they've already earned just over $8,000 and the amount is ever growing.

There was not much said in regards of how she passed, but they said it happened on December 23. When they shared the fundraiser on December 26, they stated, "Yesterday we received the very sad news that Jessica Saner, our good friend, and sister to Mastodon's original singer, Eric Saner, passed away unexpectedly on Dec 23rd. This is a link to the gofundme account set up to help the family with funeral costs. Thank you in advance for your generosity."
